What is stereo?

There are now two system of high fidelity, monophonic (monaural) and stereophonic. Monophonic is a system that starts from one microphone and is fed through a single high fidelity set. Stereophonic is a double system. Two separate microphones are placed at different sides of the orchestra and two different systems are used to keep the two signals or channels separated. Two separate speakers are used, placed on different sides of you room. Stereo is much like 3-D photography, two slightly different sound reach your ears giving you a new dimension in sound.

Voce Divina TENORE

The Tenore reference loudspeaker communicates through custom-manufactured seven inch woofers and custom manufactured one inch dome tweeters. The cabinet's superstructure consists of constrained layers of a super dense composite medium, which help eliminate cabinet resonance (vibration). The Tenore's inner-structure disperses standing waves, and early reflections from the back wall--minimizing resonate peaks in the enclosure. The construction and bracing allow for systematic expansion and contraction of the sound chamber, liberating stress points and nodes in the cabinet.The Tenore's superstructure has three effective machanisms for limiting vibrational interference:1. The constrained layers of material convert mechanical vibrations into shearing moments (parallel movement between two planes), which is transformed into heat.2. The cabinet's inner-structure consists of non-parallel walls, minimizing standing waves and increasing structural integrity and rigidity.3. The tweeter is isolated from the woofer's mechanical energy by placing it on a separate baffle on top of the cabinet.The secluded tweeter projects undistorted high frequencies into the soundstage, and allows for uninhibited reproduction of spatial depth and detail. The tweeter's minimized baffle allows the sound to extend around the cabinet with the ease and space of vastly more expensive designs. The tweeter is tilted a few degrees off the vertical plane for optimized frequency response.The tweeter is electronically and physically time aligned with the woofer, avoiding phase anomalies and speed deficiencies between the two sources. The simplistic crossover design adds to the transparency of the presentation, enables the speakers to vanish into the soundstage, and generates an accurate sound-stage portrayal for on and off axis listeners.

q.millenio Tenore feature a new state of the art seven inch Kevlar midrange woofer and motor structure.The acoustical loading of the q. millenio Tenore midrange woofers enable the system to recreate the recording's intimate sound stage. New crossover components and values were hand selected from the finest available and lend to an increase in the natural tonality and listening experience of the original models. Improvements in transparency, life-like timbre and resolution are exceptional. The q. millenio Tenore is invisible to the listeners in the sweet spot, and in virtually any off-axis position.
